(a)
Stable
Income - Single Employer Farm Laborers whose primary source of income is from regular farm
employment with the same employer are normally employed for the entire year
and receive a regular monthly salary. When the income is regular and does not vary from month to month, the
monthly income figure will be used to determine the benefit level for the
entire certification period. (b)
Irregular
Income - Single Employer In some instances, the laborer is paid for work done only during the
work season, but resides year round on the farm and may receive advance or
deferred payments, (sometimes known as “furnish”), during the non-work
season. Some difficulty may be experienced in assigning an income figure to
the farm worker whose income is high during the work season and
correspondingly low during the non-work season when income is only from
advance or deferred payments. (c)
Regular
or Irregular - Multiple Employers When a farmer laborer works regularly for more than one employer, the
total income from all employers must be determined and then it is treated in
the same manner as that received from a single employer. If work for multiple
employers is irregular, the food stamp certification period should reflect
actual income or a variable basis of issuance should be assigned. |
